The four-strong curatorial collective – Ivet Ćurlin, Nataša Ilić, Sabina Sabolović and Ana Dević – was formed in 2000, taking over the direction of the city-owned Galerija Nova in Zagreb three years later. Last year they took the helm of Kunsthalle Wien in next door Austria, yet their egalitarian spirit is undimmed. While their adopted country has been in and out of lockdown, the group managed shows for fellow collective Averklub, all residents of the Chanov housing estate, the largest Roma settlement in the Czech Republic; cult local artist Ines Doujak (who pointedly took the histories of pandemics and their relation to global trade as her subject); and Singaporean Ho Rui An. In May, Peruvian curator Miguel L. López was drafted to mastermind a group show featuring, among others, Amoako Boafo, Karrabing Film Collective and the US-based group Sodomites, Perverts, Inverts Together! Meanwhile Galerija Nova, now run by Dević, is still going strong, with an industrious six shows this year and seven public events. Many hands make light work.
